Planning Modem Location
Factors to consider when planning for the location or placement of your iR1200
modem:
• Easily Accessible – You should allow easy access to the modem (for
troubleshooting purposes).
• Easily Visible – You should allow a clear view of the modem’s LED
indicators.
• Proximity of the Cables – The distance between connections affects
performance, especially the distance between the modem and antenna. The
shorter the distance between these components, the better the signal.
(Please refer to the antenna’s Safety Warranty for proper installation
of modem and antenna.)
• Environment Considerations:
!
- Heat - Placing the modem, antenna or cables near
a heat source can cause several problems,
including radio interference. Select a location away
from a source of heat and make sure the modem
has at least a 1-inch clearance on all sides for cool
air to circulate.
- Wetness – The modem should not be mounted in
an area where it would be directly exposed to
water.
- Direct Sunlight – The modem should not be
mounted in direct sunlight.
Modem Dimensions
Consider the size of the modem. Will the modem fit in the area where you want
to perform the installation?
